ATM distribution networks for narrow band communications
Thomas L. Hiller,Ronald Anthony Spanke,John J. Stanaway,Alex Lawrence Wierzbicki,Meyer J. Zola +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a virtual path-based approach for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cells for switching and transmission across a telecommunications network, where each cell carries one PCM sample of up to 48 different voice connections, the voice connections being selected from the PCM data streams because they have a common destination.
